5 Pre-Claim (PCR) Review for Home Health Services Demonstration Overview 5 Palmetto GBA and CGS - Medicare Administrative Contractors
6 PCR Overview The PCR demonstration is being implemented as a result of findings that show extensive evidence of fraud and abuse in the Medicare home health program Most demonstration states have also been identified as high-risk states that select cities and counties under the temporary moratoria on home health provider enrollment authorized under the Affordable Care Act The Medicare improper payment rate for home health services increased from 17.3 percent in 2013 to 51.4 percent in 2014 and is projected to increase to 59 percent for Palmetto GBA and CGS - Medicare Administrative Contractors
7 Program Goal The goal of this demonstration is to assess PCR as a means of reducing Medicare FFS expenditures for home health services by reducing improper payments while maintaining or improving the quality of care experienced by the beneficiary. 7 Palmetto GBA and CGS - Medicare Administrative Contractors
8 PCR vs. Prior Authorization PCR is different than prior authorization due to timing of review and when services begin Prior authorization requests must be submitted prior to services beginning and providers should wait until they have a decision before they begin providing services PCR requests are submitted after initial assessments and intake procedures are completed, services have begun, and before a final claim is submitted 8 Palmetto GBA and CGS - Medicare Administrative Contractors
9 What is the PCR? PCR is a process to request a provisional affirmation of coverage by submitting documentation and other information for review after services begin but before the final claim is submitted The PCR helps make sure applicable coverage, payment, and coding rules are met before the final claim is submitted 9 Palmetto GBA and CGS - Medicare Administrative Contractors
